• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

2 stroke oil for vintage air cooled bikes...

I'm running longer bars on the larger saws cutting 40"to50" diameter tree trunks at a saw mill. 20 cords of wood broke them in. My older husqvarna 2100 (99cc) saws needed very little break in.
 
Not sure how vintage your bike is. I used to race my 79 maico 400 with 85:1 belray mc-1. The bike loved it and gave me phenominal top end life for an air cooled race bike. Even my dads old 1960 mercury 6hp outboard liked the 85:1 belray synthetic very much. It went from a 100 pull starter to a 2 pull starter. I would think the amsoil would work excellent. Cam.
 
I have some 100:1 optimal but never tried it. Some ran it the chainsaw speed competition at the local fairs. I plugged the governor's and put a larger drive sprocket and set the rakers at .060" for pine. Doing 8 cuts in 17.5 seconds wasn't too shabby.
